Check out our watch list for 2023-24 USA TODAY HSSA Girls Swimmer of the Year
The USA TODAY High School Sports Awards is pleased to announce its inaugural watch list for 2023-24 USA TODAY HSSA Girls Swimmer of the Year!
This initial list includes 50 current student-athletes who meet the nomination criteria for this yearβs national Girls Swimmer of the Year award. These athletes were either nominees in last yearβs national show, or athletes who were seriously considered based on season-wide performance, state championships and any other state, regional and/or national recognition.

Here's a little more about this year's program and how it works:
The official 2023-24 USA TODAY HSSA Girls Swimming Team will be announced later this spring. All 25 final team members will be honored as nominees for national Girls Swimmer of the Year. The winner will be revealed during the fourth annual USA TODAY High School Sports Awards. Visit the event website for updates leading up to this summer's on-demand event, and to view all of the award winners from last year's show!
Note: The purpose of this watch list is to track eligible nominees for this yearβs national show. Athletes could be removed from this list if they no longer play for their high school team (either by choice or injury), or if their high school no longer participates in a state-sanctioned championship tournament for this sport.
Who else should we be tracking for national Girls Swimmer of the Year?
This watch list is only a starting point. All student-athletes who compete for state-sanctioned interscholastic championships are eligible for our program. Player of the Year suggestions can be submitted to both roleary@usatventures.com and BFontana@usatventures.com.
